Stopping Illegal and Unreported Fishing
OceanMind is a non-profit, action-oriented organisation helping authorities to more effectively enforce marine regulations.
Effective Marine Enforcement
The ocean is critical to humanity’s future. Yet the ocean is under dire threat from human activity and climate change. While many damaging human activities are already regulated, the unaddressed challenge is enforcing these regulations in the wild, remote, vast ocean.
OceanMind powers marine enforcement and compliance, supporting government authorities and the seafood industry to detect, deter, and prevent illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
We use advanced technology including satellites and AI together with extensive fisheries compliance expertise to help authorities enforce more effectively.
Responsible Sourcing
The seafood industry has a powerful role to play in stopping IUU fishing through responsible sourcing policies to prevent IUU seafood from entering the supply chain. The challenge lies in verifying claims made by suppliers.
OceanMind provides deep due-diligence at the individual shipment level to ensure legality and responsible catch method for all wild capture seafood, as well as checking for indicators of labour abuse. We also provide due-diligence for supplier onboarding, and the development of responsible sourcing policies and the implementation of BSI PAS 1550, as well as reporting to support nature-based financial disclosure (ESG reporting).
